More Gigantopithecus Taming & KO Tips
1 build a 4 by 4 foundation wood or stone the put the walls.
2 find a gigantopithecus
3 carry it with an argy
4 drop it in the box that you made
5 make 1 roof and place it anywhere outside the box
6 feed it
And thats how you tame a gigantopithecus with ease.
Tamed 2 ( lvl 125 and lvl 90 ) did some upgrading mostly to health and melee. Turned my back to cook some meat. Hear scary music, see lvl 130 Rex's corps just flying over my head.
I just wanna say i love these big gorillas
I coloured mine green, named it shreak thèn dropped him in the swamp
From experience, fly with argie and drop them in a box and then take them. Passive tame btw. Mine kept getting attacked by terror birds and the tame bar would reset.
β€΄οΈ so others morons like me will know.
Donβt put walls around when taming, put 4 doorframes beforehand, pick up with argentavis and then you can get close enough to tame easily, while it canβt get out. It does not fit through the doorframe. DO NOT PUT DOORS ON DOORFRAME.
Use gillie armor!
For some reason the Maewing doesnβt nurse these, even though it can pick them up. You have to stand by with berries ready.
No gille armor all you need to do is crouch behind it and shove berries up its butt...I'm not kidding
Place a stone foundation and four stone doorframes. Place inside by picking up with medium to large flying creatures ( I use argentavis), and drop it inside your doorframes. This prevents it from escaping and allows you to still get close without risking getting hit, also just crouch. I have tamed at least four this way and have trapped many more (to see how long it could survive against raptors and terror birds.) Please make it so others learn this easy way to stop them from getting away when you are taming them.
